CHALLENGE SUBJECT MATTER

The lovely Isabelle Norris of Ontario, Canada, has kindly given us the title for May's Challenge which is 'FREE AS A BIRD', and Isa will also be judging on this one. And as inspiration Isabelle has sent me two very gorgeous projects, and additionally for one of the projects has made a great slideshow with step by step pictures which I think you will find attractive and useful.

I couldn't resist this challenge as I love birds and I have quite alot of your stamps Jean. I have posted my effort. I love seeing what other people come up with. I love the peacock stamp, it is stunning.
